OK... power steering pump bracket broke. Got another bracket.
Got the old power steering pump out and got a new one ready to go in, with new pulley too as I could not get the old one off. Actually when I got the bracket I got a another pulley also tossed in. So, I gave up fighting to get the old pulley off and will just install the new pulley.
Now the problem.. I cant get anything off the old pump. There are two plugs. One is just a plug and the other is a plug and mounting stud combined. I cannot get either of these to come off or anything. And, I need to reinstall them on the new pump! Its like whomever installed it used way to much torque on them.
Same with the one hose that is fixed to the pump by way of a fitting. I can order a new hose from LMC (I think), or even Napa would assume. But, I cannot find these darn plugs.
Any help? I hope....
